    You could always go the "cheating" way and buy Seven Seas dry salad dressing seasoning which even come in a kit with a cruet that has measurement lines right on the bottle! I substitute water for some of the oil.... If I remember correctly, the box has a "low oil" recipe right on it. Or you can even substitute plain yogurt for the oil and have a creamy italian dressing.

    I have a simple and easy one for you that my hubby is addicted to
    3 parts olive oil
    1 part apple cider vinager
    sea salt
    crushed black pepper
    he likes it on romane lettuce, not my fav but he and the children love it.

    So glad I popped in. I already make the 7 seas. I use EVOO, red wine vinegar and a splash of balsamic. I also add some parm cheese sometimes.

    I am going to try it with the greek yogurt instead of oil ( I am so SICK of the same salad dressing!!)

    it's not making your own, but Newman's Own has a really delicious light sesame ginger that is soooo f-ing awesome.

    makes me want to have salad every night, and my ex-linebacker hubby even chose it over super-hi-fat chunky blue cheese.
